SAP is set to get a second CEO. FRANKFURT, March 14 (Reuters) - Business software maker SAP
plans to make Deputy Chief Executive and global sales
and marketing chief Leo Apotheker joint CEO alongside Henning
Kagermann next month, the Boersen-Zeitung newspaper reported,
without giving its sources.
An SAP spokesman said the supervisory board had not reached
a decision. "We will not comment on other people's
predictions," the spokesman said on Friday.
Apotheker was made deputy CEO a year ago, when SAP's then
head of software products, Shai Agassi, resigned.
Agassi had been seen as next in line to become CEO but
SAP's co-founder and supervisory board chief, Hasso Plattner,
said at the time Agassi had not been willing to wait after
Kagermann's contract was extended a month earlier.
SAP had previously introduced changes in CEO by first
having a duo at the helm. Kagermann too was initially co-CEO
alongside Plattner before his switch to the supervisory board.
